Creation of geometries by Coordinate system methods using AutoCad
Aim: Creation of geometries by all Coordinate system methods using AutoCad
Procedure:
Absolute coordinate system:
- Each vertex of the geometry is given a label for identification
- The coordinates for each vertex are identified based on the given measurements
- Using the Line command in Autocad the geometry can be created by entering the coordinates(x,y) in clockwise or anticlockwise direction.
- After entering the last coordinate type close command to close the geometry to the starting point.
- Note: Dynamic Input has to be switched off.

Relative Coordinate system:
- Each vertex of the geometry is given a label for identification
- Each vertex can be identified with the distance in the horizontal direction as Dx and vertical direction as Dy from the previous point.
- Identify the Dx and Dy for each vertex with the given measurements in clockwise or anticlockwise direction from the previous point.
- Using the Line command enter the first vertex and further enter Dx and Dy as @Dx, Dy to reach the following points.
- In this way after reaching the last point give the command as close to close the geometry to the starting point.

Relative Polar Coordinate System:
- Each vertex of the geometry is given a label for identification
- As per the Quadrant angle system +X is considered as 0 and +Y as 90 in the anticlockwise direction by default.
- In this way the distance in x or y direction and angle from the previous point is noted for each vertex.
- Using the Line command enter the first vertex and further enter Dx or Dy as @Dx<angle or @Dy<angle to reach the following points.
- In this way after reaching the last point give the command as close to close the geometry to the starting point.
